Garfield - In the
town of Pine Valley, May 2, 1884, Mrs. Margarette Rodman Garfield,
wife of Selucius William Garfield, aged 25 years and 10 months.

She was the eldest
daughter of L. W. and Debora Rodman, of Pine Valley, and was
married to Mr. Garfield May 7, 1876. One child preceded her to the
grave, and one little boy is left behind. Her disease was
inflammatory rheumatism, from which she suffered about eight
months. Very few in this region have experienced such suffering.
But all this time she was patient and hopeful. Her many friends did
all in their power to cheer and comfort her in her last days. Her
funeral was attended from the Presbyterian Church on Sunday last by
a large concourse of relatives and friends.
